Cousinfest

My brother and his family were visiting from North Carolina for the past week and we packed some serious fun into our time together.

My kids love when their cousins come to visit,

they literally count down the days until they get here for months!

Sleepovers, crafts, outings...every day is an adventure...

Photo booth fun

Uncle Steve won Audra this Olaf stuffed animal in a claw machine.

I think it took quite a few tries before he finally won it,

but turns out it's an official Disney Store Olaf!

Not the cheap carnival type of stuffed animal I usually win.

Claw machines are so addicting!

An afternoon at the movies

The kids saw Shaun the Sheep and the adults saw Vacation

Audra ended up in the adult movie with us,

but don't worry...

I took off her glasses, removed her hearing aids,

and packed her lap full of popcorn and candy,

which kept her happy, entertained and quiet :)

Thank goodness there was only one other couple in the theater besides us...

I am sure they thought poorly of us for bringing our little one to such a movie.

But she couldn't see or hear the movie so I didn't feel bad.
